    The point was that most men aren’t interested in being there unless they’re told they’re excluded.

    Feminism welcomes all. But some times there need to be safe spaces for women, and women’s groups are there for that. So the comic is just a joke, not a provocation.

    There are local men’s groups around where I live, they’re safe spaces for men who want to talk about relationships , fatherhood, anger issues or how to be more confident in their masculinity etc. Women are (usually) excluded. Many of these men are feminists, I would guess.









  • ”Study finds” and ”we were surprised”. Should be ”study confirms”. Also, no wonder these people fall for opioids fast, as the only way opioids help chronic pain is by shutting the brain down to sleep mode through five of ten times the recommended dose.

    Several of my co-sufferers from chronic pain treatment groups entered opioid addiction, from the opioids not helping at all against the pain. Their addiction started when they had to take such a high dosage to get their brain to stop registering any kind of pain or anxiety and enter sleep mode. Once they could get nerve pain blockers, most could taper down from the opioids. Some, of course, never could as they actually entered a serious opioid addiction. Two from a group of twelve are now passed, women in their 30’s.

    Whelp, good that it’s confirmed. And. There are a lot of good studies being done. What worries me is yet another pharmaceutical finding yet another cheap-to-produce addictive option instead of fighting the real problem and discouraging actual help.




  • This reminds me of the stray cat that we adopted through a cat centre. Whenever we needed to take her to the vet or clip her nails we had to catch her in a towel because she got scared with more than one hand petting her and would shred our hands if we put forth two.

    Now she’s the derpiest, most attention seeking void who demands to snuggle up to us whenever she doesn’t feel like sleeping under the couch.

    I completely understand that the burrito bowl is to get them and us safe, but I imagine it must be difficult not to pet or give scritches to those adorable feathered raptors.
